SODIUM PEROXIDE - 2Na202
is indifferent than, hydrogen peroxide
Once sodium peroxide is mixed with water it will
convert into - sodium hydroxide.

NICKEL SILICATES
can host both oxide and chlroide - nickel 

Once sodium peroxide is mixed into a flux
with ores and water is added - the water acts as
a catalyst to create a - fusion reaction.

Keep in mind - sodium peroxide with water
has now reacted and changed into sodium hydroxide

SODIUM HYDROXIDE - NaOH
reaction with  3  types of nickel

- NiO + NaOH = Ni(OH)2 + Na2O ( nickel hydroxide )
- NiCl2 + NaOH = Ni(OH)2 + NaCl ( nickel hydroxide )
- NiS + NaOH = Ni(OH)2 + Na2S ( nickel hydroxide )

Based on thre above - it seems sodium peroxide
is the " superb " oxidant to convert all silicate nickel
and nickel sulphide species into - nickel hydroxide.


Punching in, sodium peroxide values into chemical
equation converters doesn't - factor in - the water inwhich
converts the " sodium peroxide flux ) into sodium hydroxide.

H2O -  is needed to complete the reaction equation.

Ni(OH)2   - nickel hydroxide
2 nickel
2 oxygen
2 hydrogen
= 6 molecules

Not bad at all... only 6 molecules.
Yet... some research papers pointed out
a SODIUM bond can occur resulting in
nickel + sodium + oxygen + hydrogen
FAR LARGER MOLECULE





SOME RESEARCH PAPERS
Recommend -follow up with - HCl or Ntric acids.
Such would create larger complex bonds.
Larger the bond - less nickel in a droplette.

SOME RESEARCH PAPERS
Recommend - flux must be heated at specific temps

So.... sodium peroxide converts to sodium hydroxide 
All nickel values ( kinds ) convert to a mono format of,
nickel hydroxide - i will not complain. I actually love it.
Unification allows better managemet of, nickel.

SO... WHAT WOULD BE THE IDEAL NEXT STEP ?
ICP - AES  vs  ICP MS

ICP AES  does not detect - ions.
ICP MS - does detect - ions.

EVNI - 2011 assays used - ICP MS
EVNI - current assays used - ICP AES

CNC - assays used - ICP OES
This process does detect - ions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MY OWN THOUGHTS -
Once nickle is in - hydroxide form -
One could....

- add more water to liberate any nickel with in flux paste 
  then drain solution with filter - add chlloride = electrolysis
  all nickel would be accounted for via - electrolysis 

- add more water to liberate any nickel with in flux paste 
  then drain solution with filter - dehydrate and using
  weighted sample value - test the sample for all nickel.
  one would have all nickel accounted for - based on sample.

- add more water to liberate any nickel with in flux paste 
  then drain solution with filter - dehydrate additional water
  leaving only a marginal amount in which then perform
  ICP MS - looking for total ion count - with a compensation 
  factor of added water vs raw ore with no water
  to determine actual - nickel value - in raw ores vs added water
  which can skew a mineral value if - only a few mists are used
  looking for an averaging vs testing entire sample weight value.
  If agitated - few drops could provide an accurate value.
 

So....  there we have it.
Done with this subject.

A better understanding of, sodium peroxide.
Where " online fails " is not factoring in " water '
It's quite diff to find the end sum answer - due to
the equations omit - water.
They... don't speak about the " water catalyst "
turning the sodium peroxide into - sodium hydroxide.

At the end of the day....
it all revolves around - ICP AES  vs  ICP MS
MS -  detects the ions.

EVNI  use to use this format.
CNC -  uses the OES format - which looks for ions.

I would say....
ion value is more - precise.


Thanks for bearing with me... 
On the study of, assayig...
giggles.

Yes... i can be - persistent - just looking out for 
junior + shareholders - looking for max value.

Hey, at least i found the switch up from, 
ICP MS  to ICP MS.
and that's a good thing.

I don't want to ever read up on assaying again...
lol - what a subject... ugh.
 
Are the W-4 drills ready ?
Hope so.
